Funding for wildlife enhancement , COs, and collecting data to keep better track of our game populations is needed
Running our present system without the above is part of the problem. Management for the purpose of creating opurtunity without proper data on our populations and a portion of our MUs run on guessing instead of proper counts is an issue. With little to no effort put in to adjust management when minimums are not being met in a population is a problem
Management for the purpose of opportunity well keeping game populations in mind involves a more in-depth knowledge of our populations and closer management then presently used in BC. We presently have a blanket management system that is more about trying to keep things simple for hunters then working with our game populations.
Want to free up more $ combination of of conservative management and opportunity management helps. Conservative management has more give when it comes to game populations. This can take concern of some locations and funding can be directed to maintaining counts on areas managed for opportunity
Multi tier systems have more advantages then blanket management for both expenses and game populations
BC is actually managed with old school thinking
Dont worry I do more then talk to MLAs
